The lecturer spoke on charity and
purity. Then he said he wanted to
give three simple rules:
1. Never keep the company of a
man that speaks lightly of God.
| 2. Never keep company with man
who drinks; if he loves drink more
than you, you cannot reform HIM.
3. Never keep company with an
idler, though he be rich; he will love
you as he does his horse.
In conclusion, he asked privilege to
exhort, and did to the point, and
closed with this apt remark: "Be
modest, discreet and pure and you will
be the girl to love-"
THE BIBLE THE PROPHET OF SCIENCE.
Bishop c. H. Fowler, on Wednes-
day evening, delivered a magnificent
lecture on the above subject, which was
listened to by crowded house for an
hour and a quarter, and was "a perfect
tornado of eloquence and unanswer-
able logic.
The space allowed us in these col
umns will enable us to give but faint
idea OF its great beauty and grandeur.
The first half hour was spent in
showing the uncertain and unsatisfac-
tory nature of human science. One
scientist would construct beautiful
theory, which would be accepted for a
time, and then another would arise
and, with touch of his hand, tear
down the castle and build another in
its ruins, only to see that ruthlessly
demolished by the impious hand Of
another.
Here he gave illustrations clearly
demonstrating his assertions. This
was true at least of one OF the exact sci
ences-the theory of parallel lines of
geometry. Proceeding on this line, he
came down to the formation of the
earth which we inhabit and the whole
solar system. Here he gave the hy-
pothesis now almost universally adopt
ed by scientists, including those who
champion the Mosaic cosmogony,
the "days" meaning indefinite peri
DDS. 1t is called the Nebular theory.
1t must be stated in word in this
brief synopsis.
Far back in an inconceivable period
in the past, eternity, infinite space, or
a portion of it, there existed light in
unbounded diffusion. This light, with
which was mingled highly attenuated
gaseous matter, or mist, began to cool
and condense, assuming, as the cycles
OF eternity rolled on, greater and greater
density and finally broke into frag-
ments, started off on journey through
the immensity of space, taking on the
while rotary motion, and finally
globular form. After swinging in
space a countless number of periods
we call years, the condensation of this
attenuated matter having been carried
on, the globe, and, of course, the
planets, took on a crust.
This crust continued to harden and
grow thicker till the pent-up gases in
their confinement caused great COM
motion, and the crust cracking, threw
up continents and mountains. Then
in the working of the great laboratory
of the universe, aqueous matter sur
rounding all became condensed, filling
the depressions made by the great up
hnaVyoI ond hnnnn TIM
When these were formed then the
lower order of fishes began to inhabit
the waters, and, rising in the scale,
appeared the vertebrate fishes. At
length fowl and quadrupeds, and, at
last, man appeared.
Well, he was inclined to think it was
about correct.
When Geology came and knocked at
the door of this great temple of science
for admission, she asserted that the
earth, which was represented as hav-
ing been built and equipped with all
its trappings in six days, must instead
have been millions Of years in its form
alton. Now comes in the infidel and
says, "Your Bible, so. far as its cos
mogony of the earth is concerned,
is myth. Here the struggle
begins in earnest. Christians and
Christian scientists began to tremble,
but it made them look into the matter
very carefully, and, after thorough in
vestigation, they found that very like
ly geology was in the right, and that
it was entirely harmonious with the
Mosaic statement. Moses saws: "In
the beginning" this may have been
millions of cycles far back in eternity,
"God created the heavens and the
earth, and the earth was without form
and void, and darkness was on the
face of the Deep" This chaotic state
given by the bible agrees in every par
ticular with the theory Of scientists. 1t
took science a long time to find out
what might very easily have been
learned by reading the bible.
"And God said, Let there be fir
manent, etc, ," and he divided the
